What happened, in plain English

CVS Health is recalling lemon-flavored magnesium citrate laxative products that may have microbial contamination. This could pose a health risk if consumed, so affected consumers should stop using the product and contact CVS for a replacement.

Why it’s dangerous

Microbial contamination in non-sterile products can lead to infections or illness if consumed. The laxative is intended for medical use, so contamination could cause health issues.

People who purchased the lemon-flavored magnesium citrate laxative with the listed UPCs and lot numbers from CVS Health. Those using the product for bowel preparation are most at risk.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the UPC numbers: 0 50428 30594 2 or 0 50428 33517 8. Also look for lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice.
